<title>Because this is how I stand</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ <font size="2"><font face="Arial">Phone never finds its way easy for me...</font> <br><font face="sans-serif">It really is useful and indispensable for work and life.  But I just don't like it...  It's not a matter of languages - my degree of hesitance is almost exactly the same when I talk in Japanese, English, French and maybe in Chinese even...!</font> <br><br><font face="sans-serif">For work, I usually try to minimize calls.  But then, even I do try to avoid, I would say for a little less than 40% of my working time, I am engaged with phone calls... people call me from any locations, I do have to call people, and I need to attend/hold conference calls day &amp; night.  Maybe it's just the way it is and I really need to bear with it for work purposes, I guess.</font> <br><br><font face="sans-serif">In my personal life, I also try to minimize any calls.  I don't like when people call me on my cell phone for any non-urgent matters.</font> <br><br><font face="sans-serif">I'm not sure from when people start to phone you so innocently and casually just any time.  I observe people around me very much depending on their cell phone - they almost seem to be obsessed that they cannot keep away from phone for a second.  Even being 2 minutes apart from the phone, they start to worry if anyone might have called you during your absence (of 2 min!).  And, why do you pick up your phone anytime &amp; anywhere?  Maybe it's really related to an urgent thing, and you wouldn't know until you actually pick up your phone.  But <font color="#0000ff"><strong>why is it that people would almost expect the counterpart to answer 24 hours a day??</strong></font></font><font color="#0000ff"><strong> <br></strong></font><br><font face="sans-serif">Similarly I don't like an answering machine telling me that someone called me and wanted me to return a call.  I think it makes no sense to leave "pls call me when you are back" type of messages without stating any objective or topic of the call, unless it's super-super urgent.  Again, I feel like people expect me to answer 24 hours/7 days, that really annoys me...</font> <br><br><font face="sans-serif">To my bad... I don't even like talking to friends on the phone.  When anyone calls me, I can answer and talk just normally, of course.  But <font color="#ff00ff"><strong>I never call friends from my end unless there is an absolute need for it.</strong></font>  It really is something amazing to me when people pick up phone and call you just because they want to have a chat etc or to catch up.  To me, it can only happen with lovers and family.....  I do like my friends, but no call!  How do I keep in touch with people?  Well, I prefer seeing people in person, rather than having phone conversation <img height="16" alt="アップ" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/blog/ucs/img/char/char2/173.gif" width="16">  Email/letter is another better way of communication to me... as that way I can control how to proportionate my time &amp; energy spending.</font> <br><br><font face="sans-serif">And yes, I do recall I used to want to call someone I really liked for almost no reasons.  For that I used to make up 'reasons' to call him - something like... the moon is really brilliant tonight, found music that reminds of him etc... absolutely no urgent matters.  So, I understand how this happens.... but such area of extra reach should be quite limited for all, shouldn't be?!</font> <br><br><font face="sans-serif">I do admit that I like when I talk to my family, and for that I do call them from my end.</font> <br><font face="sans-serif">That's the only occasion where I see myself quite happy dialing the numbers.</font> <br><br><font face="sans-serif">Otherwise, I call anyone solely because I have to.</font> <br><font face="sans-serif">So, <font color="#ff00ff"><strong>don't think I don't like you just because I don't call you</strong></font>.  It's just I don't like phone - that's all!</font> <br><br><font face="sans-serif">I figure... the bottom line is that I simply don't like anyone to control my time and resource.  I'm now pretty much concerned that I would never get a partner who would understand my need of proper distance from certain things.  I think this is one of my weak points - at the same time this is a part of my strong point that <font color="#ff00ff">I make myself stood up without being influenced by the surrounding.  I can do things that I believe I need at my own pace</font> - again, this can be another point to make... that to guys I don't seem to need any help/support, which makes me look really like a macho woman.  In reality it's not true at all!  <font color="#ff00ff"><strong>There are a lot of things that I would like someone to rely on... someone to support me... and someone to tease me!</strong></font></font><font color="#ff00ff"><strong> <br></strong></font><br><font face="sans-serif">And I know that this can change when I have someone I like and I want him to see me 24 hrs... who knows what happens <img height="16" alt="！！" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/blog/ucs/img/char/char2/176.gif" width="16"></font><br></font>

<title>Pure intention vs Gratitude</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ <p>A few nights back, one of my friends suddenly called me. Basically he wanted to have his CDs back which I had been borrowing from him for more than 1 year...</p><br><p>No wonder he sounded a bit rush... it was a Christmas featuring CD. Understand if he misses this timing, he'd have to wait another year to actually play that to enjly<img height="16" alt="あせる" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/blog/ucs/img/char/char2/029.gif" width="16"></p><br><p>I felt bad for him, and I actually rescheduled my dinner appointment with some other friends... and... deligently presented at the place he specified on time! This is the shop that our mutual friends run.</p><br><p>He was delayed for around 30minutes.... taking sme of his friends along when he showed up at the shop.</p><br><p>He picked up the CDs, chatted with our friends..... and left. He hardly spoke to me.</p><br><p>Well... it was probably me triggering this in the first place, and it's good that his primary objective of retrieving back his loving Kenny G CD back. But <font color="#0000ff">shouldn't there be any show of appreciation or something...<img height="16" alt="！？" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/blog/ucs/img/char/char2/177.gif" width="16"> There wasn't even a simple word of "thanks."</font></p><br><p>Our friends were pretty much surprized that he was soooo plain<img height="16" alt="ドンッ" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/blog/ucs/img/char/char2/280.gif" width="16"> Meaning.... they thought the CD was just an opportunity for us to meet up. To be honest, I initially thought we might go for a drink after that (even though we hadn't planned for it - that's normally the case with us). It was a few weeks back we actually chatted we should catch up sometime before mid-December.</p><br><p>I am not looking for any sort of romantic situation towards him.... but I'm personally so convinced that he is not the one.... never and ever<img height="16" alt="爆弾" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/blog/ucs/img/char/char2/036.gif" width="16"> Probably he was rushing off as his friends were waiting there onsite. Yet, I'm disappointed with that kind of behavior in general. I even had to manage my schedule in the last munute for him...</p><br><p>In addition.... the side story is.... I just remember that he also keeps some of my CDs that I have passed onto him about an year ago.</p><br><p><font color="#0000ff">Now, should I be upset?</font> Maybe so...<img height="16" alt="パンチ！" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/blog/ucs/img/char/char2/043.gif" width="16"></p><br><p>To remember... <font color="#ff00ff">never forget to say *thanks*</font> for anything you receive and anything you feel appreciateion for. Small details don't really matter - the simple word makes a big difference, I believe. </p><br><br><br>

<title>Kids Day</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ <font face="Arial" size="2">It was a whole day of running and laughing in the office, myself being almost a dedicated baby sitter for some nearly 20 kids surrounding me!</font> <br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">Obviously the normal business activities were really slowing down, which I actually felt thankful for a bit <img height="16" alt="チョキ" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/blog/ucs/img/char/char2/105.gif" width="16"></font><br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">I liked when all the tension was temporarily released with all smiles and crying. </font><br><br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">It was actually quite impressive that we had so many kids' presence in this time of the year, where quite a number of people are actually on leave.</font> <br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">Some got 2 or 3 kids - that easily inflate the number of the temporary office population indeed....</font> <br><br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">The 'bring your kids to work Day' is really something that make you smile, energized..... yet tired!</font> <br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">If I were one of those kids, I might have just ended up possessing wrong impression of parents having fun at work everyday with balloons and nice sweets though...</font> <br><br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">At the end of the day, I really questioned myself why I wouldn't have my own kids!</font> <br><br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">...and subsequently realized I haven't even started the due course of having kids in the first place <img height="16" alt="ダウン" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/blog/ucs/img/char/char2/175.gif" width="16"></font><br><br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">Wrong thoughts!</font> <br>

<title>Stress before holidays...</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ <font lang="JA" face="?l?r ??fc" size="2"><p>I believed it was over...</p><p>No... it was not... the nightmare definitely comes back.</p><br><p>Every morning, my heart beats very fast when I open up my email inbox.  It is not surprising anymore that I receive so many stressful &amp; scary emails every day, but this morning I see something quite more stressful than ever!</p><br><p>It is always related to one subject - 2008 budget, and finally this appears to be reaching to the very high end of the reporting line of one particular business... I was included in the loop of the communication coming down directly from the head of the business... my gosh. Not sure how that's been really escalated to that level and that I am being cc'ed!</p><br><p>If I look at this from the different perspective, it might be actually better that I get all my reporting managers &amp; senior management's support to tackle the issue, rather than envisaging myself directly to these 'monstrous' folks in the region...</p><br><p>Here is one thing I always think about...</p><br><p>These people like to escalate any issues to higher level so quickly. Maybe I can escalate their behavior to our management too!</p><p>Sometimes it is lacking efficiency when the talks/discussion of such issues are not really grounded at the regional level.</p><p>Anyhow, even this sort of thing is brought up to the global management's attention, it is often the case that these questions eventually come back to me, possessing all regional numbers and data.</p><br><p>I really don't like when people are demanding and not appreciating anything I do for them.</p><p>There was one time I worked until 11pm only to complete their requests (which they claimed to be super urgent!) to furnish information by end of the day itself.</p><br><p>It didn't happen just once, but many times - even I reply back to them diligently, usually I do not receive any favorable feedback. Well it doesn't have to be favorable, but basically zero feedback is received.</p><br><p>I am not even sure if they actually look at the information provided.  I see the same questions posed to the senior management, which I have already provided some information for!</p><p>Maybe they are not convinced by my comments explaining the figures, but I definitely feel terrible about this type of treatment.</p><br><p>Is this how the work is supposed to be? This is bad as I start to feel like I am not willing to provide them with data so promptly.</p><br><p>I would like to be as reasonable as possible, as helpful as possible and as professional as possible. If there is anyone who destruct my motivation, that's realy a sad thing!</p></font>

<![CDATA[ <font face="sans-serif" size="2">あっというまに１２月。師走でございます。なんてよい響きでしょう。</font> <br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">世の中の大人たちにとっては、焦るとか、忙しないとかで、必ずしも楽しいばかりの時期ではないみたいですけれど。</font> <br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">私的には、やはり心躍る、１年で一番好きなとき。小さい頃から秋冬とか、年末が大好きです。</font> <br><br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">遡ると、、、</font> <br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">小さい頃からずっと、祖父母やいとこたちと離れたところに住んでいたので、</font> <br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">お正月の帰省が１年で唯一みんなに会えるチャンスだったんだよなぁ。</font> <br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">大掃除やおせち料理の用意、、、なぜかすべてがトキメキで☆</font> <br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">冬休みにおばあちゃんの家で過ごす数日が本当に楽しくて、いざ仙台（その当時は仙台在住）に帰るという日は、ここにずっといたい～って泣いてたらしい。</font> <br><br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">だから、こんなに大きくなってからも、何かに託けておばあちゃんに会いに行ったりしてしまうのも、</font> <br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">その頃の夢を今ひたすら実現してるのに他なりません。。</font> <br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">おばあちゃんに元気な姿を見せてあげる、なんていうおこがましい理由ではなくて、</font> <br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">私が行きたくて行っているのです。なんだか落ち着くのです。</font> <br><br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">おそらくそれで思い入れが強いのでしょうな。</font> <br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">いくつになっても冬休みはやっぱり家族と過ごしたいと思ってしまう。</font> <br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">生まれて二十数年経ちますが、家族と過ごしていないクリスマス＆お正月って、まだ数回しかないかも。</font> <br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">これってこの歳で胸張って自慢していいか、やや疑問ですが。</font> <br><br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">特にお正月は、、、家族と完全に離れていたことってほとんどない、、、な。。</font> <br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">離れていたときもそれなりに幸せだったけど、やっぱり家族と一緒がいいなぁと思っていました　笑</font> <br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">そうだ、好きな人が家族だったら最高やん、って思ってたなぁ。</font> <br><br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">というわけで、今年のクリスマスは札幌に帰省。お正月は大阪に帰省。（帰りすぎやね）</font> <br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">社会人になってはじめて年末年始ゆっくりできそうで、すでに心踊り、仕事も手につきませぬ。</font> <br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">このまま落ち着いて、無事に冬休みに入れることを熱望中。</font>

<![CDATA[ <p>さて、恐怖のメガネ生活もようやく終盤に、、、１１月１４日に検査に行ってきました。トータル４時間くらいかかって疲れたけれど、問題なくLASIKを受けられるという合格点をもらいました～</p><br><p>瞳孔ひらく検査も、それほどインパクトなく終了。歩けないほど視界がぐらつく、とか、言うけれど、今回は直後からすぐに本を読めるくらい。。まったくどれだけ鈍感なんだか。</p><br><p>さて翌日、午前中は通常通り仕事をしてから、午後手術へ。また、"It's your big day!"って、かなり周りが意識しちゃって、おかげで緊張度が増しましたわ。というか、これから休む！っていうときに限って、いろんな問題が発生してしまうのが世の常で、、、結局手術の夜にコールに参加するはめに。。ま、PC使わなくても、声の参加はできますでしょうが、、、勘弁してよ、マジで。</p><br><p>なので（？）、Out of Office noticeにはMedical Leaveです、とはっきり書かせていただきましたわ。</p><p>お察しください、ということで<img height="16" alt="かお" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/blog/ucs/img/char/char2/142.gif" width="16"></p><br><p>さて、肝心の手術は、ちょっぴりドキドキしたけど、比較的あっさり終わりました。</p><p>でもやっぱり怖かったよ～</p><p>何が一番怖かったって、手術台に乗った瞬間に先生が、「さぁ、今日は左目ですね」って言ってしまったことです。えぇぇぇぇぇぇ、、、今日は右ですよ！とやや絶叫気味に即答させていただきましたが。</p><p>大丈夫かい、先生？！</p><br><p>なんせ、一日に片目ずつしかできない決まりなので、その晩が一番微妙でした。</p><p>裸眼が弱いままの左目と、回復待ちの右目。</p><p>メガネをかけても、かけなくても、見えづらい状態。</p><p>だから、よく言われる、「あ、もうよく見える！」という感動は、すぐには来ませんでした。。</p><p>麻酔が切れたせいで、しばらくズキズキ痛かったし。でも、寝ちゃいけないって言われてるし。。</p><br><p>さらに翌日、次は左目の手術。</p><p>２度目なので、次に何が起きるというのがはっきりわかっているので、リラックスできるかと思いきや、逆に超意識してしまって、めちゃ怖かったのです。</p><p>実際の手術時間って、たったの５,６分だと思うのだけど、今何が起こっているかが、逐一わかってしまうことの恐怖。。</p><p>正直、もうやりたくないです、これを忘れるまでは<img height="16" alt="しょぼん" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/blog/ucs/img/char/char2/144.gif" width="16"></p><br><p>左目の経過は結構順調で、その晩からほぼ通常通りみえているようでした。</p><p>その翌日のチェックでも問題なかったので、無事に両目終えられたようです。</p><p>やった！</p><br><p>トータル、SGD4,000くらい也。日本円で320,000円くらい？</p><p>日本でやるより、高くかかってしまったけれど、これを高いとみるか、安いとみるか。。</p><p>これからの経過をみて判断いたしましょう。</p><br>

<![CDATA[ <p>んん、、すっかり間隔あいちゃいましたが、やっぱりたまには綴っておきたいと思います。</p><br><p>９月から予約していた、LASIKを受けるときがついにやってきました。</p><br><p>検査の１週間前から、コンタクトをはずしておかないといけないのだけれど（角膜の形を元に戻すために）、</p><br><p>最後のコンタクトを外す夜はさすがにちょっと涙ぐみました。。</p><br><p>なんだかんだいって、１２年間もお世話になりましたから。</p><br><p>メガネが天敵の私にとって、コンタクトはなくてはならない存在でした。</p><br><p>どうもありがとう～</p><br><p>ところで、未使用のコンタクト達がまだたくさん残っているわ。どうしたものかね。。</p><br><p>そんなわけで、１１月７日から恐怖のメガネ生活に突入。</p><br><p>産まれて初めてメガネを作ったのが、中２のときだから、かれこれ１４年くらいの付き合いではありますが、</p><br><p>過去１０本くらいあったメガネたちと、まったく仲良くできた例がありません。。</p><br><p>メガネをかけるとすごく落ち込むのです。精神的なものもあるけれど、それ以上に通常の生活を送るのが困難になってしまうくらい、フラフラになるのです、私。</p><br><p>遠近がバラバラになってしまうんでしょうな。まっすぐ歩いたり、階段下りたり、という動作が不自由になります。</p><p>当然運動はできない状況です。むかしメガネでテニスに挑戦してみたけど、ラケットにボールがまったく当たらず。（下手なだけ？！）メガネ＆ヨガは、バランス感覚が保てずグラングラン。</p><br><p>度数が合っていないんじゃないか、とよく言われるけど、それにはいつも万全を期するので、バッチリなはずなのです。要は慣れの問題だそうで。いや、慣れられません！</p><br><p>かといって、裸眼で歩くとさらに危険な状況になりますし。。</p><br><p>そんなわけで、スーパーローテンションな１週間がスタートしたわけです。</p><br><p>あまりに、私がイヤだイヤだ、を連発していたので、周りがかなり意識してしまい、</p><br><p>メガネ初日は、ちょっとした騒動に。。でも、わざわざ違う階から見に来るほどのことではないと思うのですが。。誰だ、わざわざ人を呼んでくれたのは！</p>
